I’m told the Wizards are like the Harlem Globetrotters — in that both are exhibition basketball teams for which athleticism, comedy and theatrics are at the forefront — but on a smaller scale. Based on what I’ve read, it seems like the Wizards are also more entertaining in the family-friendly way. And after covering last night’s show at Northeastern High School, I know I’d take my kids to see the Wizards.

The Wizards played against a team of 24 teachers and students from the Northeastern School District, which initially could have been disastrous for me since that team didn’t have numbers or a roster. Fortunately, one of the organizers gave me a list of all the players, and various team members helped me identify everyone by physical description — i.e., “bald, goatee, black knee brace,” “blonde crew cut, maroon shorts,” etc.

Yeah. Easily could’ve been a nightmare. But I’d like to thank those teachers who helped me out before the game began.
